Clevelanders are not stressed, financially

According to a study from cardhub.com, Clevelanders have enough in their wallet -- and their bank accounts -- to be able to live a financially satisfying, low-stress lifestyle.

John Kiernan, senior analyst of cardhub.com, tells WTAM 1100 that Cleveland ranks sixth on their list of cities for wallet wellness, behind Minneapolis, Houston, Dallas, Pittsburgh and St. Louis.

Cardhub.com says their analysis is based on factors that include rate of job crowth, cost of living, transportation expeenses and average commute time. Those are all then compared with relative differences in economic opportunity and daily frustration in the nation's 30 largest metropolitan areas.

According to Kiernan, Cleveland ranks as high as it does in part because of low housing prices, and overall low stress.
